FINAL EXAM

EECE 3410
Spring 2020 Name:
By writing my name I affirm that all work shown is my own

Read all of the following information before starting the exam:

➢ Show all work, clearly and in order, if you want to get full credit. I reserve
the right to take off points if I cannot see how you arrived at your answer
(even if your final answer is correct).
➢ Justify your answers algebraically whenever possible to ensure full credit.
➢ Circle or otherwise indicate your final answers.
➢ If I cannot read your writing or follow your work, I will not grade the
problem and you will receive 0 points for that problem.
➢ DO NOT just write answers down. Answers only with no equations or work
will receive 0 points, even if your answer is correct.
➢ Attach your formula sheet to your answer script.
➢ Good luck!
